For some reason unknown to many, former Kentucky Wildcats quarterback Tim Couch is not a member of the College Football Hall of Fame, despite being on the ballot since 2014. The College Football Hall of Fame announced once again on Monday that the UK legend has been named to the 2023 ballot.
Hopefully, this is the year the well-deserving Wildcat is recognized.
It’s impossible to tell the story of Kentucky football without mentioning the UK legend. In 1998, Couch was a junior at Kentucky and earned consensus Southeastern Conference Player of the Year. He was also a first-team All-American that season.
